Jammu, Mar 25: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday appealed to daily wage workers to end their strike which has triggered a water crisis in the Union territory, and urged them to raise their grievances with the panel set up to address them.
\nSeeking talks between the government and the protesters, BJP MLAs walked out from the J-K Assembly after a half-hour-long ruckus over the issue, with opposition and treasury benches trading charges against each other.
\nScores of Jal Shakti (PHE) department workers and daily wagers were baton-charged by police during protests on Friday, Saturday and Monday and detained in Jammu as they marched towards the assembly, the CM\u2019s residence, and the civil secretariat, demanding the release of their wages and regularisation.
\nThe daily wagers have been on strike for the last four days.
\nAs the Question Hour concluded in the assembly on Tuesday, Leader of Opposition and BJP leader Sunil Sharma brought up the issue, demanding that the government holds talks with the daily workers employed by the government and end the strike.
\n\u201cSince yesterday, I have been raising the issue of the daily wagers\u2019 strike and the water crisis caused by it. But the government has failed to respond. The government seems to be behaving in an arrogant manner,\u201d Sharma said.
\nThis triggered a visible angry response from the treasury benches, prompting a counter from the opposition, most of whom stood up in reaction.
\nNational Conference MLAs also resorted to slogans against the BJP, accusing them of failing to resolve the issue during \u201ctheir 10-year rule\u201d \u2014 referring to the PDP-BJP coalition government and the President\u2019s rule that was imposed after the BJP withdrew support.
\nCentral rule continued after the erstwhile state was bifurcated into two Union territories \u2014 Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh \u2014 in 2019. The National Conference and its allies formed the government in October 2024 after assembly polls were held again in the Union territory of J-K.
\nAmid noisy scenes in the assembly during Tuesday\u2019s proceedings, Bills were introduced and passed by the chief minister.
\nSpeaker Abdul Rahim Rather tried to bring order to the House but the verbal duels continued.
\nDeputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary said the Omar Abdullah government was serious about resolving the daily wagers\u2019 grievances and that a committee had been formed for this purpose.
\nThe BJP, he said, failed to resolve the issue in the past 10 years.
\nAngered by this, BJP MLA Sham Lal Sharma asserted that matters concerning the Lieutenant Governor cannot be discussed in the House as per rules. The LG administration handled affairs of the UT after J-K\u2019s bifurcation.
\nCongress and PDP MLAs remained mostly silent during the back and forth between the BJP and the NC.
\nThe speaker then announced that the CM would make a statement on the issue, \u201cThe House is in action today. It was peaceful until now. If we were not interested in resolving their issue, we would not have formed the committee. We are surprised that protests are taking place even after the committee\u2019s formation,\u201d he told the House.
\nSpeaking in the House, Abdullah said he would look into the reasons behind the protests. \u201cYou are admitting that there was injustice against them, which means you accept that nothing was done for them in the last 10 years. We have taken the lead to resolve it,\u201d he said.
\nThe CM took a dig at BJP MLA Sham Lal Sharma, telling him that as a minister in the previous government, he was aware of the steps taken to resolve the issue.
\n\u201cA committee has been formed under the chief secretary. I want to request the daily wagers to call off their strike and talk to the committee. Once the recommendations come, we will implement them,\u201d Abdullah said.
\nEarlier on Thursday, the CM said a panel has been formed to address the issue of regularisation of daily wagers in the Union Territory, which will submit its recommendations to the government in six months.
\nAfter around 30 minutes of disruption in the proceedings, BJP MLAs staged a walkout from the House.<\/p>\n
